It’s amazing the ratchet effect both parties have in always moving rightward.
Dems in power/GOP not: “Oops sorry we can’t do anything” paired with “everyone not calling for nuclear armageddon is pussyfooting with those pinko queers”
GOP in power/Dems not: “This is the most important election ever, the Nazis are at the door and WE MUST ACT” while the GOP just gets a free parking space for whatever culture war while continuously cutting taxes, gutting regulation, and stacking the courts
It has been pretty jokerfying to see Biden absolutely tank in the polls after being gaslit by libs for months about how he'd be the only person to "heal the divide" and "return things to normalcy". The GOP base hates Ol' Moderate Joe even more than the Dems hated Trump, according to approval polls.
:joker-troll:
The worst part is I don't really have anyone to say "I told you so" too.
im not anti authoritarianism because what i want to happen to about 60% of the country would be authoritarianism.
Authoritarianism is good as long as socialists have authority. liberal democracy is bad because for some fucking reason it always ends up with fascists in power.
ameri-nazis can't even wait to seize power before they do a night of long knives, and they announce it openly beforehand.
if you run around with a long knife, all kinds of accidents can happen. i hereby warned the hogs about stairs :i-told-you-dog:
Weird how capitalist republics keep descending into fascism.
If only we had some sort of historical science to let us understand why.
Damn, a science like that would be so dope, I'll bet it would live on for ages. Like, some sort of 'immortal science' if you will
More to the point: they came for the neoliberals and I didn't speak out because they already came for the leftists and will continue to do so.
Remember, the real quote starts with "first they came for the communists" for a reason.
And the neoliberals who love that quote always seem oblivious to that.
Would it be possible to wait until their revolution starts eating its own?
Eric Greitens currently leads polling for the GOP nomination for the Missouri senate seat.
It is also very well know that Greitens is a violent sociopath who has committed horrific acts of sexual and domestic violence. Google will turn up all the information if you want to know more, but I'm gonna have to give you all a massive content warning for sexual and domestic violence.
GOP voters in Missouri are aware of this and will very possibly nominate this monster. Yeah yeah fuck liberals they suck too but American reactionaries truly are despicable people.
And it's Missouri so the Republican will win the general :agony-shivering:
Doesn't this violate Twitter guidelines? :thinking-about-it:
I've been banned for reporting things more than me reporting things has led to someone else getting banned.
But I make one fucking joke about murdering a few managers and I get permabanned!
These people are deranged. The Democrats have gotten nothing accomplished. And that's still to much
The Democrats humiliated their Big Wet Adult Son with a dried out grandfather. Absolutely unforgivable.
What’s an example of a RINO in modern American politics? I was under the impression that they died out with McCain or before
according to proud boys, the most recent example seems to be that eyepatch guy, of all people.
When the right wing war hero purple heart navy seal guy isn't fascist enough for you things have gone wildly out of control.
He's a Navy Seal. The only thing they're good for is murderering unarmed rural farmers.
Anyone who does not explicitly wish to slaughter minorities, it seems.
Susan Collins in Maine? Also probably everyone Rep that signed onto that weak ass gun reform bill
I don't usually do the whole "both sides" thing, but...

They can all clear up their heads with this one neat device :gui:
How bad do things have to get before I can claim political asylum and GTFO of this place
:agony:
Because it's very important with free speech and letting everyone compete freely in the marketplace of ideas. It has nothing to do with them being right-wing and white.
